Well, actually, its a mighty big hand that holds the key to the universe.
(HUGE!!) You can quote me on that one.
I thought I covered the bases with the prep thing. It would entail sanding,
priming ans sanding again. Its plastic so the time it will take to sand it
wont be long. If I recall right, it has 3 surfaces? Just use a 600 grit
paper and scuff all the surfaces you want to paint. Dont to forget your tack
cloth to get the dust off of it. Then paint it with a good adhesive primer.
Wet sand it after its good and dry and put a second coat of primer. Lightly
wet sand it again and paint it the filal coat. Maybe 2 coats ifd you do it
light enough. You dont want to soak it. (No runs, drips or errors...)
